MongoDB and CouchDB are not RDBMS. Not sure the intention of the question is.
SQLServer carries over a considerable number of legacy apps and code on it, but many of the others are more suitable for RD. Surprised not seeing mySQL on the list...
I think DB's planet scale can offer a different view on RDBMS usage.
I had trouble pointing one database. Some are relational, some are document databases. It's like comparing a hammer and a screwdriver, which is better? When comparing databases agnostically of the purpose, then I'd choose security, performance, scalability, and availability as the main parameters.
It all depends of the use cases harder to answer without that.
